  1. What is an Immigrant Visa?

An immigrant visa allows you to move permanently to the United States. Eventually, you will receive your green card and, if you apply, you can become a U.S. citizen. To get an Immigrant visa, a family member in the U.S. must petition for you.

  1. I filled out my DS-160 form and submitted it, and later I found out that I made errors in the process, but I have not yet paid my visa fees, can I change the DS-160 form?

If you make errors in the DS160, you can correct them during your interview. Just inform the Consular Officer of your mistake.

  1. I am a musician but not too popular, do I qualify for a P2 or P3 Visa?

A P2 visa requires that you are part of an exchange program with a U.S. organization. A P3 requires to be coming to the U.S. to participate in a cultural event that will further the understanding or development of your art form.

You only need to be famous for the P1 visa. For the P2 or P3, you just need the organization or event.

  1. Can I submit two sponsors for my F1 Visa application?

Yes. You can submit as many sponsors as needed to pay for your studies.

  1. Which Visa do you need for Religious Workers?

If you are coming to the United States to work, such as a minister or pastor, then you need an approved petition. You must find an organization in the United States to submit a petition on your behalf to USCIS.

  1. Which Visa do you need for Journalists and Media?

I visas are for bona fide representatives of the foreign media, including members of the press, radio, film, and other foreign information media, traveling temporarily to the United States to engage in activities associated with their profession that are essential to the work of the foreign information media.  Activities in the United States while on an I visa must be for an information media organization that has its home office in a foreign country.

  1. What is the difference between K1 and CR1 Visas?

A K1 visa is an immigrant visa for a fiancé. A CR1 visa is an immigrant visa for a recent spouse, married in the last 2 years. If you married for more than 2 years, you should use the IR1 visa.

  1. I had a DV visa rejected 10 years ago in Senegal, and I applied for a B1/B2 visa again. I was rejected based on section 212(a)(6)(c)(i). The footnote stated that I need a waiver.

What is that waiver? Who is qualified to do that waiver for me?

The immigration and nationality section 6C1 is a U.S. law that means anyone who lies or provides fraudulent documents to get a visa can be found ineligible for a U.S. visa. If you have received a 6C1 refusal, that ineligibility lasts forever. However, you can apply for a waiver and if it is approved, you can still immigrate to the U.S. We can provide you with information on how to apply for a waiver.
